Instruments: Trumpet Trombone Saxophone Recorder Euphonium French Horn Tuba

For students at the beginning and intermediate levels on all instruments I use the Rubank Method alongside appropriate solo literature for their ability level.

Advanced horn players will study Koprasch, and other etude books to fit the students unique situation. Read More
